Panel 1

Next to the ASK US ABOUT SHOES and WE ALSO SELL SOCKS! signs, there's now also a ("no ducks" image) EXCEPT GUIDE DUCKS one.

Beaver: "You're not taking that shoe anywhere Shoe Goblin!"
Shoe Goblin REMOVE!'s his fake beard.
Shoe Goblin: "I'd like to see ye stop me..."

Panel 3

[LATER...]
Beaver and Steve are on the floor, with an open box that reads "SOLES".
Three shoe soles can be seen on the floor, as well as a dead sole fish.
Beaver: "Ugh... Head throbbing... Strange craving for stilton... What happened?"

Panel 4

The view pans slightly to the right, also revealing a soul (phonetically equivalent to 'sole') on the floor.
Beaver: "Oh no! The Shoe Goblin! He's gone! Wake up Steve! We have to catch him!"
Beaver SHAKE!s Steve, who is still sleeping
Steve: "Mrf.. Yes your highness, I'd love some more trifle... ZZZZZ..."

Panel 5

[OUTSIDE...]
Beaver: "With a shoe that size there's no telling what he might do... But will we ever find him?"

Panel 6

A large shot of the whole city block, showing the shoe shop (labelled "SHOES"), a hat shop across the street ("HAT-O-RAMA" with a little hat above the O), and a "mile-long" shoebox with various rocket boosters attached to it, preparing for take-off, in the middle of the street.
A car is BEEPing its horn at the shoebox and the Shoe Goblin is climbing up the box on a ladder, with his hat bell JING JINGing.
Shoe Goblin: "Ha ha ha!"
The Sun is observing it all from above, while Beaver and Steve are completely unaware of the box, looking the opposite way.
Beaver: "Ok Steve, if you were an evil, shoe-obsessed fairy-creature with a mile long shoe box, where would you be?"
Steve: "Canada?"
[To be contd.]

Fun Facts

This is the second time the Shoe Goblin has used his belt's special features to knock out Beaver and Steve.

The first time was in Comic 64, where a push of a button caused two shoes to SPROING out of his belt and hit B&S in their faces.

Sole fish can be bought from the shoe shop.

Parking a giant shoebox-shaped spacecraft beside the road is not illegal.
